[AJD] wheel removal, impossible?? THANKS

[wwwayne johnson]

Kreig,  I have a 1/2'' plate drilled to match the three inside bolt and a 
half moon cutout to clear the axle.  With spacer bars between the plate and 
hub I install the three inside bolts tight, then tighten up the pusher 
bolts, working back and forth and help from a BFH have always had success. 
Good luck.
Merle
